Sperlonga (Latina province)

A town of southern Lazio: 41°16N, 13°26E. Altitude: 19 m. Population in 2003: 3100.

A typical street in the old quarter of Sperlonga.

Sperlonga is a beautiful small town on the coast of the Mediterranean, 18 km ESE along the coast from
Terracina; 15 km more and you will be in
Gaeta. The place is more famous than one might expect: the emperor Tiberius liked it, and remains of a villa of his can still be seen; he also was an avid swimmer, and Tiberius' Grotto here, cousin to the one in Capri, is almost as striking.

I have never been to Sperlonga, but a proper website will eventually appear here, a collaborative venture with Carole Roach who took all the photos. For the moment, see the sites below for fuller information on the town.

Images with borders lead to more information.
The thicker the border, the more information.
